Congrats! I also like to combine knitting and gardening :) I have some Iris blooming now :) What I am not sure of is... do they bloom again once they die after a week or so? :(
Hugs,
Flavio
I don't have enough of a green thumb to know. Mine have not come up yet, but they may be a different breed and different climate.
I think there are some breeds which rebloom, and I read that the bloom period should be about 3 weeks to a month. Then I found this, which may be of help to you: "A healthy flowering stalk produces 9 to 12 buds on short side branches, and each flower lasts about three days." From http://tinyurl.com/qewm4
There's a gardening forum at http://forums.gardenweb.com/forums/iris/ which might be able to help you!
Hope this helps!
I'm working on my green thumb since we bought our house last summer. My tulips are coming up as well - yours look awesome!! I love tulips.
Thank you! Tulips and calla lilies are some of my favorite flowers.
I hope my green thumb is improving- we just put in our summer veggies and some herbs. Not as pretty as flowers, though!
